SuperBowl is set
I have had a terrible playoff run. Teams that I thought were ready to go the distance didn’t make it out of the starting gates (Dallas Cowboys). Teams that I had written off (San Diego Charges) went deep into the playoffs.
A couple of comments on yesterday’s games. To the Green Bay Packers - What was that? The game was yours. I’m not sure what happened. Did Brett Farve’s fingers freeze up? No seriously. It was seriously cold out there. Farve was terrible in the second half. He wasn’t throwing the ball well at all. The interception in overtime was an excellent example. I’m not saying the New York Giants didn’t bring the defense because they did but Farve hits wide open receivers.
Congratulations to the New York Giants. No turnovers throughout the playoffs equaled a trip to the SuperBowl. I’m not buying the Eli Manning has come of age story. We saw plenty of the old Eli yesterday with him back pedaling and throwing wounded ducks.
The New England Patriots have survived the last 4 or 5 games without losing. It hasn’t been because they were playing all that well. They just made plays in the clutch. Junior Seau’s tackle for a 2 yard loss on 3rd and 2 was huge. Tom (first round hall of famer) Brady was the second best quarterback on the field yesterday and Phillip Rivers wasn’t that good. Tom terrific was Tom ordinary. Brady was 22 of 33 for 209 and 3 interceptions. 3!!! How did the Chargers lose? I saw the game and I don’t know. Well, yes, I do. Field goals instead of touchdowns. The Chargers could have put this game away in the first half if they had gotten touchdowns.
Anyway, congratulations of the Patriots.
In 2 weeks - The New England Patriots will travel to Phoenix to play the New York Giants.
